Sorry to jump in, but I thought that floor looked pretty cool too. The "gaps" can't be good for dirt, but they sure look neat. Kind of like ship planks. Maybe they're not gaps?

The flooring looks engineered (laminate), kind of has that "milky" finish. I'm building myself a house soon, and I'd like a floor like that.

Do tell...

Is this your floor? I don't know where you got the picture, the floor is intriguing. Looks like the veining and color of Cypress but must be pine. What's the dark line? Looks like a machined edge, but matches up at the butt joint. ???

Could be fir, maybe? I look at a lot of house porn :funn: and in the Pacific NW they use fir sometimes; looks like heart pine -- very honey colored.

R U Seein' how that dark gap is so uniform, even at the butt joint? I think if it were conventional nail down the chance that it would space out like that "dead on" at the butt joint is a 1,000 to 1 chance. Gotta be something engineered. 30A's gonna leave us hangin'

Right here!
OMG, I so totally missed the follow up. Sorry to be a bummer, but that picture came off a web site that sells baseboarding, it's not my house. I have no idea what the floor is made of.
